EUR-EMSET is about: - promoting excellence in mathematics and the natural sciences, environmental education and technology: a European approach to enquiry-based learning
What are we trying to achieve: Partner Local Authorities have identified a need to improve the quality of education in mathematics and the natural sciences – and to increase the take-up of these subjects in upper secondary and higher education. The project aims to achieve stimulating teaching and learning in science, maths and environmental education, through developing a joint framework for supporting:
Student involvement in learning – taking into account their preferred modes of learning. Students as co-constructors of learning
Development of key competences – in particular in mathematics/numeracy, science and technology, ICT and especially in developing Learning to Learn (in line with the EU Key Competences Framework)
Cross-curricular collaboration; shared learning activities between students and teachers within the pilot schools in the European partner countries – in particular through imaginative uses of ICT for shared investigation and communication;
Joint projects between education and business – and with relevant community groups outside formal educatio n Joint methodological development involving Local Authority advisors and consultants, Higher Education
Identifying and sharing a wide range of materials and resources for teaching and learning.
